==Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus==
Artha is a free cross-platform open-source English thesaurus based on [http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet].
== Description ==
Artha is a handy thesaurus that focuses on high usability, without trading off simplicity and ease of use. It has the following distinct features that increases its usability:
* [[Features#Wordnet|WordNet]] - Artha harnesses the extensive & in-depth database provided by WordNet. Unlike other dictionaries which goes on-line for every single lookup, Artha works completely off-line; thanks to WordNet for its excellent and cognitive database.
* [[Features#Hot key Summoning|Hot key Summoning]] - When you press a pre-set hot key, after selecting some text on any window, Artha pops up with the selection's definitions
* [[Features#Notifications|Notifications]] - Artha can show passive notifications (balloon tips) instead of the application's window popping up, so that you can continue what you were doing, uninterrupted. (like reading, writing, etc.)
* [[Features#Suggestions|Suggestions]] - When a misspelled word is queried for, Artha gives you its near-match suggestions.
* [[Features#Relative to Sense Mapping|Relative to Sense Mapping]] - Relative words like synonyms, antonyms, etc. displayed are numerous, and hence the user might not know to which sense/definition of a word does a relative map to. In Artha, when you select a relative, its corresponding definition is scrolled to and highlighted for easy comprehension.
For a given word, the possible relatives shown by Artha includes [[Features#Synonyms|Synonyms]], [[Features#Antonyms|Antonyms]], [[Features#Derivatives|Derivatives]], [[Features#Pertainyms|Pertainyms]] (Related Noun/Verb), [[Features#Attributes|Attributes]], [[Features#Similar Terms|Similar Terms]], [[Features#Domain Terms|Domain Terms]], [[Features#Entails|Entails]] (what verb entails doing), [[Features#Causes|Causes]] (what a verb causes to), [[Features#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] (is a kind of), [[Features#Hyponyms|Hyponyms]] (kinds), [[Features#Holonyms|Holonyms]] (is a part of) and [[Features#Meronyms|Meronyms]] (parts). To know more about each category of relatives, please click on it, for an explanation and example. Once launched, Artha sits on the system tray and looks for the pre-set hot key combination press. You can select some text on any window, and call Artha by pressing the key combo. Depending upon the option set, Artha with either pop-up with the word looked-up or will show a passive notification of the most important definition of the searched term, from the system tray.
== Development ==
Technically, Artha is written in pure C using the [[Wikipedia:GTK|GTK+ widget kit]] and [[Wikipedia:Glib|GLib]] libraries, making it cross-desktop and cross-platform. It uses libnotify for notifications and [[Wikipedia::libenchant|libenchant]] for spelling suggestions. It may be used as a advanced replacement for the proprietary software [http://www.wordweb.info/ WordWeb] in GNU/Linux environments. Currently different flavours of GNU/Linux are targeted. Porting to other UNIX-like systems (BSD, Solaris, etc.), Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows will commence soon.

Initial Draft of Features ~ WordNet features added

text/x-wiki
==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
As a verb:
* rid of obstructions
* make a way or path by removing objects
* grant authorization or clearance for
As an adjective:
* readily apparent to the mind
* free from confusion or doubt
* affording free passage and view
As a noun:
* the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
As an adverb:
* completely (''slept clear through the night'')
* in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer third verb sense above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. ''rich'' has a sense meaning ''having an abundant supply of'', which makes ''abundant'' as a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. cleared, clearing, clearance, clarity, clearness, lucidity, uncloudedness, etc. are derivatives of ''clear''.
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc. are pertainyms of '''culinary'''.
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc. are terms similar to '''clear'''.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are terms that are specific (lingo/jargon) to a topic, region or a classification.
E.g.
'''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the topic '''photography'''.
'''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the region '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
'''freaky''' comes under the classification domain '''slang'''.
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.

E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Hot key Lookup==
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disbaled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Notifications cane be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.
==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (any locale is ok) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.

# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.

===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Hot key Lookup==
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disbaled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Notifications cane be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.
==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (any locale is ok) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.

==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)

* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage. Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment''':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===

Refer [[Installation]] for further details.
==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. On its first depth we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.
==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.

===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. On its first depth we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.
==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (any locale is ok) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.

==Hot key Lookup==
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disabled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Artha notifying the definition of ''thesaurus'':
[[image:notify.png|Notification of definition of 'thesaurus']]
Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.
==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.

(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':
[[Image:indirect_antonyms.png|Indirect Antonyms of Rich]] [[Image:inferred_antonyms.png|Direct and Inferred Antonyms of Rich]]
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view.

==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.
==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.

==Hot key Lookup==
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disabled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Artha notifying the definition of ''thesaurus'':
[[image:notify.png|Notification of definition of 'thesaurus']]
Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.
==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect.

Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.
==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':
[[Image:indirect_antonyms.png|Indirect Antonyms of Rich]] [[Image:inferred_antonyms.png|Direct and Inferred Antonyms of Rich]]
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view.
Relative to Sense Mapping show for ''rich''`s synonym ''deep'':
[[image:Sense_mapping.png|Relative-Sense Mapping of rich's synonym deep]]
==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.

==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.

==Hot key Lookup==
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disabled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.

==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.

__NOTOC__
==Hot key Lookup==
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disabled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Artha notifying the definition of ''thesaurus'':
[[image:notify.png|Notification of definition of 'thesaurus']]
Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.
==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':
[[Image:indirect_antonyms.png|Indirect Antonyms of Rich]] [[Image:inferred_antonyms.png|Direct and Inferred Antonyms of Rich]]
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view. When a relative is displayed in bold, it implies that it has mappings to more than one sense.
Relative to Sense Mapping show for ''rich''`s synonym ''deep'':
[[image:Sense_mapping.png|Relative-Sense Mapping of rich's synonym deep]]
==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.

[[image:mode_simple.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Simple Mode]] [[image:mode_detailed.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Detailed Mode]]
==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation]] for further details.

Refer [[Installation]] for help on how to build and install Artha.
==Binaries==
If you are using [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] or its derivatives like [[Wikipedia:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]], etc. you can download the Debian package for your architecture. For other Linux flavours, binaries do not exist right now. Please download the [[#Source|source]] and build it. See [[Installation]] of details on how to build and install Artha.
i386 Architecture [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/artha/artha_0.8.0-1_i386.deb?modtime=1234245725&big_mirror=0&filesize=56432 Download artha_0.8.0-1_i386.deb]

<big>'''NOTE:'''</big>
Please use '''''gdebi''''' to install this debian package. Please '''do not''' use '''dpkg''' to install this package, since it does not have the ability to automatically resolve dependencies and will lead to broken dependencies. Should you end up in broken dependencies give <tt>sudo apt-get install -f</tt> to resolve it; apt will take care of it. If you have ''gdebi''`s GUI front end installed, you can simply double click the downloaded .deb file and gdebi will show you a graphical interface to install it, you can follow the instructions and it will install Artha resolving dependencies. You go by the CLI way:
sudo gdebi artha_0.8.0-1_i386.deb
Make sure the '''Universe''' repositories are enabled in your repositories list.

<big>'''NOTE:'''</big>
Please use '''''gdebi''''' to install this debian package. '''Do not''' use '''dpkg''' to install this package, since it does not have the ability to automatically resolve dependencies and will lead to broken dependencies. Should you end up in broken dependencies give <tt>sudo apt-get install -f</tt> to resolve it; ''apt'' will take care of fixing it. On most Debian based distros, gdebi-gtk (GUI front end of gdebi) comes pre-installed. If you have it installed, you can simply double click the downloaded .deb file and gdebi will show you a graphical interface to install Artha. Follow the instructions and it will install Artha resolving dependencies. You go by the CLI way:

==Source==
The latest stable release of Artha is 0.9.1 ([http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=250410&release_id=683229 Release Notes and Change Log]). Click on either of links below to download.
[http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=250410&filename=artha-0.9.1.tar.gz&a=1828463 artha-0.9.1.tar.gz]
[http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=250410&filename=artha-0.9.1.tar.bz2&a=36593036 artha-0.9.1.tar.bz2]
Refer [[Installation]] for help on how to build and install Artha.
==Binaries==
If you are using [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] or its derivatives like [[Wikipedia:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Kubuntu|Kubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Xubuntu|Xubuntu]], etc. you can download the Debian package for your architecture. For other Linux flavours, binaries do not exist right now. Please download the [[#Source|source]] and build it. See [[Installation]] page for details on how to build and install Artha from source.
i386 Architecture [http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=250410&filename=artha_0.9.1-1_i386.deb&a=8342484 Download artha_0.9.1-1_i386.deb]
AMD64 Architecture [http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=250410&filename=artha_0.9.1-1_amd64.deb&a=53157133 Download artha_0.9.1-1_amd64.deb]
<big>'''NOTE:'''</big>
Please use '''''gdebi''''' to install this package. '''Do not''' use '''dpkg''', since it does not have the ability to automatically resolve dependencies and will lead to broken dependencies. Should you end up in broken dependencies give <tt>sudo apt-get install -f</tt> to resolve it; ''apt'' will take care of fixing it. On most Debian based distros, gdebi-gtk (GUI front end of gdebi) comes pre-installed. If you have it installed, you can simply double click the downloaded .deb file and gdebi will show you a graphical interface to install Artha. Follow the instructions and it will install Artha resolving dependencies. If you go by the CLI way:
$ sudo gdebi artha_0.9.1-1_amd64.deb
Make sure the '''Universe''' repositories are enabled in your repositories list for gdebi will look for WordNet which is available only in the ''Universe''.

Initial Draft

==Dependencies==
Artha directly depends on the following libraries. Please note that you will need to have the development headers (.h and .a/.so) of these libraries along with the actual library files.

|-
| [http://www.gtk.org/download.html gtk+]
|align="center"| 2.12 ||align="center"| libgtk2.0-dev
|}
You will need the following tools to build:
* [http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html GNU Compiler Collection] (GCC)
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/#downloading Autoconf] (>= 2.50)
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/#downloading Automake]
* gtk-builder-convert (gets installed along with libgtk2.0-dev)
* [http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/ pkg-config]
If you have installed GTK+ and GLib properly, ''pkg-config'' should be able to give the cflags and libs of GTK+ and GLib on the following command.
pkg-config --cflags --libs libgtk+-2.0
==Optional Libraries==
For Notifications feature to be available, you need [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php libnotify-dev] (>= 0.4.1) and libdbus-glib-1-dev (>= 0.74). Also pkg-config should be able to give the cflags and libs of libnotify and libdbus-glib on the following command.
pkg-config --cflags --libs libnotify dbus-glib-1
It is to be noted that even though libnotify is enough (necessary condition) to build Artha with notifications feature, the sufficient condition to actually see the notifications appear on-screen is to have [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php notification daemon] installed. This is to be installed, which will actually put up the notifications on request by Artha.
==Configuring and Building==
Once you have the tar ball from [[Download]]. Extract it. This will create a directory ''artha-0.8.0''.
tar xzvf artha-0.8.0.tar.gz
cd artha-0.8.0
Now you can configure. Use the prefix parameter to install it in /usr and by default ''configure'' configures it to /usr/local, which is not the actual path for installations.
./configure --prefix=/usr
If you have all the aforementioned dependencies right, configure will end with no errors. Should it encounter errors, follow the on-screen instructions it says to fix them.
To build give
make
You need to install Artha to run it, building is not sufficient. To install artha you need ''root'' privileges.
make install (as ''root'')
Once the installation is complete, you can run Artha
artha
Or give ''man'' for Artha's manual
man artha
A shortcut will also get created in the Applications main menu, under Accessories.

===Suggestions===
For Artha to show suggestions when a misspelled word is queried, libenchat binaries (run time files) are required. While building Artha, libenchant's development headers are not required. Artha looks for libenchat's availability only at run-time. Also a valid spell checker like [[Wikipedia:Aspell|GNU Aspell]] and an [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/en/aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2 English dictionary] that works with that spell checker, is required to be installed for libenchant to work.

'''Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus''' is a cross-platform open source thesaurus based on WordNet developed and maintained by
'''Sundaram Ramaswamy''' ''<legends2k [at] yahoo [dot] com>''
Thanks to all the developers and non-technical contributors. Most importantly:
* '''CS Shyam Sundar''' (for numerous valuable inputs and help on hosting this Wiki)
''<csshyamsundar [at] gmail [dot] com>''
* '''GTK App. Developer Mailing List''' (for help in sorting out a few issues in development)
''<gtk-app-devel-list [at] gnome [dot] org>''
==Inspiration==
[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet] is an excellent thesaurus database and a work of art by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University. But WordNet in itself is difficult for the masses to grasp with the simple WordNet browser they provide. Hence a need for a simple and handy GUI kindle us to write a new thesaurus interface over WordNet for easy access and to increase WordNet's usability. Nevertheless, without WordNet Artha wouldn't have been possible. We thank them for giving such a vast, comprehend-able corpus for free, which can be used for correlated study of the English language and its nuances.
[http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin] - The Instant Messanger was the prime source of inspiration to create a cross-platform application and in choosing GTK+. Its ease of use and consistency across different operating systems was a compelling drive.

==Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus==
Artha is a free cross-platform open-source English thesaurus based on [http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet] released under the GNU [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html General Public Licence version 2].
==Overview==
Artha is a handy thesaurus that focuses on high usability, without trading off simplicity and ease of use. It has the following distinct features that increases its usability:
* [[Features#WordNet|WordNet]] - Artha harnesses the extensive & in-depth database provided by WordNet. Unlike other dictionaries which goes on-line for every single lookup, Artha works completely off-line; thanks to WordNet for its excellent and cognitive database.
* [[Features#Hot key Lookup|Hot key Lookup]] - When you press a pre-set hot key, after selecting some text on any window, Artha pops up with the selection's definitions looked-up.
* [[Features#Notifications|Notifications]] - Artha can show passive notifications (balloon tips) instead of the application's window popping up, so that you can continue what you were doing, uninterrupted. (like reading, writing, etc.)
* [[Features#Suggestions|Suggestions]] - When a misspelled word is queried for, Artha gives you its near-match suggestions.
* [[Features#Relative to Sense Mapping|Relative to Sense Mapping]] - Relative words like synonyms, antonyms, etc. that are displayed are many. You might not know to which sense/definition of a word does a relative map to. In Artha, when you select a relative, its corresponding definition is scrolled to and highlighted for easy comprehension.
For a given word, the possible relatives shown by Artha includes [[Features#Synonyms|Synonyms]], [[Features#Antonyms|Antonyms]], [[Features#Derivatives|Derivatives]], [[Features#Pertainyms|Pertainyms]] (Related Noun/Verb), [[Features#Attributes|Attributes]], [[Features#Similar Terms|Similar Terms]], [[Features#Domain Terms|Domain Terms]], [[Features#Entails|Entails]] (what verb entails doing), [[Features#Causes|Causes]] (what a verb causes to), [[Features#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] (is a kind of), [[Features#Hyponyms|Hyponyms]] (kinds), [[Features#Holonyms|Holonyms]] (is a part of) and [[Features#Meronyms|Meronyms]] (parts). To know more about each category of relatives, click on it for an explanation and example. Once launched, Artha sits on the system tray and looks for the pre-set hot key combination press. You can select some text on any window, and call Artha by pressing the key combo. Depending upon the option set, Artha with either pop-up with the word looked-up or will show a passive notification of the most important definition of the searched term, from the system tray.
==Get Artha==
See the [http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=250410 Download] page to get Artha for your platform.
==Development==
Artha is written in pure [[Wikipedia:C_(programming_language)|C]] using the [[Wikipedia:GTK|GTK+ widget kit]] and [[Wikipedia:Glib|GLib]] libraries, making it cross-desktop and cross-platform. It uses libnotify for notifications and [[Wikipedia:Enchant (software)|libenchant]] for spelling suggestions. It may be used as a advanced replacement for the proprietary software [http://www.wordweb.info/ WordWeb] in GNU/Linux environments. Currently different flavors of GNU/Linux are targeted. Porting to other UNIX-like systems (BSD, Solaris, etc.), Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows will commence soon.

==Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus==
[[Image:screen_antonyms.png|thumb|Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus. [[Screenshots]]]]
Artha is a free cross-platform open-source English thesaurus based on [http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet] released under the GNU [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html General Public Licence version 2]. Stable releases for [[download]] are currently available for [[Wikipedia:Linux|GNU/Linux]]; it is tested on major [[Wikipedia:Desktop environment|Desktop Environments]] like [[Wikipedia:GNOME|GNOME]], [[Wikipedia:KDE|KDE]], [[Wikipedia:Xfce|Xfce]], etc.
==Overview==
Artha is a handy thesaurus that focuses on high usability, without trading off simplicity and ease of use. It has the following distinct features that increases its usability:
* [[Features#WordNet|WordNet]] - Artha harnesses the extensive & in-depth database provided by WordNet. Unlike other dictionaries which goes on-line for every single lookup, Artha works completely off-line; thanks to WordNet for its excellent and cognitive database.
* [[Features#Hot key Lookup|Hot key Lookup]] - When you press a pre-set hot key, after selecting some text on any window, Artha pops up with the selection's definitions looked-up.
* [[Features#Notifications|Notifications]] - Artha can show passive notifications (balloon tips) instead of the application's window popping up, so that you can continue what you were doing, uninterrupted. (like reading, writing, etc.)
* [[Features#Suggestions|Suggestions]] - When a misspelled word is queried for, Artha gives you its near-match suggestions.
* [[Features#Relative to Sense Mapping|Relative to Sense Mapping]] - Relative words like synonyms, antonyms, etc. that are displayed are many. You might not know to which sense/definition of a word does a relative map to. In Artha, when you select a relative, its corresponding definition is scrolled to and highlighted for easy comprehension.
For a given word, the possible relatives shown by Artha includes [[Features#Synonyms|Synonyms]], [[Features#Antonyms|Antonyms]], [[Features#Derivatives|Derivatives]], [[Features#Pertainyms|Pertainyms]] (Related Noun/Verb), [[Features#Attributes|Attributes]], [[Features#Similar Terms|Similar Terms]], [[Features#Domain Terms|Domain Terms]], [[Features#Entails|Entails]] (what verb entails doing), [[Features#Causes|Causes]] (what a verb causes to), [[Features#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] (is a kind of), [[Features#Hyponyms|Hyponyms]] (kinds), [[Features#Holonyms|Holonyms]] (is a part of) and [[Features#Meronyms|Meronyms]] (parts). To know more about each category of relatives, click on it for an explanation and example. Once launched, Artha sits on the system tray and looks for the pre-set hot key combination press. You can select some text on any window, and call Artha by pressing the key combo. Depending upon the option set, Artha with either pop-up with the word looked-up or will show a passive notification of the most important definition of the searched term, from the system tray.

__NOTOC__
==Hot key Lookup==
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disabled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Artha notifying the definition of ''thesaurus'':
[[image:notify.png|Notification of definition of 'thesaurus']]
Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation#Notifications|Installation]] for further details.
==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':
[[Image:indirect_antonyms.png|Indirect Antonyms of Rich]] [[Image:inferred_antonyms.png|Direct and Inferred Antonyms of Rich]]
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view. When a relative is displayed in bold, it implies that it has mappings to more than one sense.
Relative to Sense Mapping show for ''rich''`s synonym ''deep'':
[[image:Sense_mapping.png|Relative-Sense Mapping of rich's synonym deep]]
==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.
Artha showing parts of ([[#Meronyms|Meronyms]]) `car`. Comparison between Simple and Detailed Modes:
[[image:mode_simple.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Simple Mode]] [[image:mode_detailed.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Detailed Mode]]
==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation#Suggestions|Installation]] for further details.

The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view. When a relative is displayed in bold, it implies that it has mappings to more than one sense.

==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.

==Suggestions==
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation#Suggestions|Installation]] for further details.

__NOTOC__
==Hot key Lookup==
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disabled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Artha notifying the definition of ''thesaurus'':
[[image:notify.png|Notification of definition of 'thesaurus']]
Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation#Notifications|Installation]] for further details.
==Regular Expressions Search==
Regular expressions (regex) can be used easily to search for terms in the thesaurus. It's a powerful way to zero-in a particular word you vaguely know it's spelling and want to locate it in the thesaurus. Artha’s regular expression pattern closely follows [[Wikipedia::wildmat|wildmat]] syntax by Rich Salz owing to its simplicity. Possible regex searches are:
* wildcard - * - matches any number of (including zero) unknown characters
* joker - ? - matches one unknown character
* range - [...] - matches one unknown character within the range specified
* limits - {m, n} - upper & lower limits of the number of characters in a range; should be used in combination e.g. [a-e]{1,2} will match minimum 1 and maximum 2 occurrences of a to e
* no in the range - [^...] - matches one unknown character NOT within the range specified
'''Examples''':
* Expr. ‘cro*p‘ means the term you want to corner starts with ‘cro‘ and ends with ‘p‘ while the number of characters in between are unknown. It fetches crop, crop up, croup, crock up and crow step.
* Expr. ‘*chester‘ means the searched word ends with a ‘chester‘ while the beginning and its number characters are unknown. It fetches chester, manchester, rochester, winchester and toy manchester.
* Expr. ‘can????r‘ means the term sought starts with ‘can‘ and ends with ‘r‘ while you are sure that there are 5 unknown characters in between. It fetches canister and cannular.
* Expr. ‘andre*[x|y|z]‘ means the word searched for starts with andre and ends with either an x or y or z, and there could be any number of terms in betweem these. It fetches andre malraux, andrei tarkovsky, andres martinez, etc.
* Expr. ‘a[c|d|e]{2,}‘ means the word looked for starts with a and then there are minimum 2 or more occurances of c, d or e. It fetches acc, accede, ace, add, ade and aec.
==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':
[[Image:indirect_antonyms.png|Indirect Antonyms of Rich]] [[Image:inferred_antonyms.png|Direct and Inferred Antonyms of Rich]]
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==

One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hot key lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it pops-up with the definitions of the selection made in that window. To know the hot key that is set currently, you can see the About dialog by pressing the About button from Artha's tool bar. Also, after installation, on the first run, Artha will show you a message box telling about the hot key set.
Artha's hot key feature is currently not customizable i.e. it tries to set a hot key in the following order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, the hot key feature is disabled. Hence its highly recommended that you keep at least one of them free. If no hot key could be set, you will be intimated that the hot key feature is disabled.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.

[[image:notify.png|Notification of definition of 'thesaurus']]
Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation#Notifications|Installation]] for further details.
==Regular Expressions Search==
[[Image:Regex wildcard.png|thumb|Regex search using wildcard (*)]]
Regular expressions (regex) can be used easily to search for terms in the thesaurus. It's a powerful way to zero-in a particular word you vaguely know it's spelling and want to locate it in the thesaurus. Artha’s regular expression pattern closely follows [[Wikipedia::wildmat|wildmat]] syntax by Rich Salz owing to its simplicity. Possible regex searches are:
* wildcard - * - matches any number of (including zero) unknown characters
* joker - ? - matches one unknown character
* range - [...] - matches one unknown character within the range specified
* limits - {m, n} - upper & lower limits of the number of characters in a range; should be used in combination e.g. [a-e]{1,2} will match minimum 1 and maximum 2 occurrences of a to e
* no in the range - [^...] - matches one unknown character NOT within the range specified
'''Examples''':
[[Image:Regex joker.png|thumb|Regex search using joker (?)]]
* Expr. ‘cro*p‘ means the term you want to corner starts with ‘cro‘ and ends with ‘p‘ while the number of characters in between are unknown. It fetches crop, crop up, croup, crock up and crow step.
* Expr. ‘*chester‘ means the searched word ends with a ‘chester‘ while the beginning and its number characters are unknown. It fetches chester, manchester, rochester, winchester and toy manchester.
* Expr. ‘can????r‘ means the term sought starts with ‘can‘ and ends with ‘r‘ while you are sure that there are 5 unknown characters in between. It fetches canister and cannular.
* Expr. ‘andre*[x|y|z]‘ means the word searched for starts with andre and ends with either an x or y or z, and there could be any number of terms in betweem these. It fetches andre malraux, andrei tarkovsky, andres martinez, etc.
* Expr. ‘a[c|d|e]{2,}‘ means the word looked for starts with a and then there are minimum 2 or more occurances of c, d or e. It fetches acc, accede, ace, add, ade and aec.
==WordNet==
WordNet is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':
[[Image:indirect_antonyms.png|Indirect Antonyms of Rich]] [[Image:inferred_antonyms.png|Direct and Inferred Antonyms of Rich]]
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view. When a relative is displayed in bold, it implies that it has mappings to more than one sense.
Relative to Sense Mapping show for ''rich''`s synonym ''deep'':
[[image:Sense_mapping.png|Relative-Sense Mapping of rich's synonym deep]]
==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.

[[image:mode_simple.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Simple Mode]] [[image:mode_detailed.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Detailed Mode]]
==Suggestions==
[[Image:Artha Suggestions.png|thumb|Suggestions given when a word is misspelt]]
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation#Suggestions|Installation]] for further details.

When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail on a mail client, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it will pop-up with the definitions of the selection made of that window. To know the hot key that is set currently or to change it, press the ''Hotkey'' button on the toolbar; this shows up the '''Hotkey Editor''' dialog using which you can view/change the hotkey currently set. Hotkey feature can be disabled as well; but to summon Artha for lookup or to get passive desktop notifications, hotkey should be set. When Artha is run the first time, after installation, it will try to set an arbitrary hotkey, in the order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, no hotkey will be set. You can change the same via tha hotkey editor to whichever key combination you prefer.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications.

* Expr. ‘a[c|d|e]{2,}‘ means the word looked for starts with a and then there are minimum 2 or more occurances of c, d or e. It fetches acc, accede, ace, add, ade and aec.
==WordNet==
[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet] is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':
[[Image:indirect_antonyms.png|Indirect Antonyms of Rich]] [[Image:inferred_antonyms.png|Direct and Inferred Antonyms of Rich]]
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view. When a relative is displayed in bold, it implies that it has mappings to more than one sense.
Relative to Sense Mapping show for ''rich''`s synonym ''deep'':
[[image:Sense_mapping.png|Relative-Sense Mapping of rich's synonym deep]]
==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.
Artha showing parts of ([[#Meronyms|Meronyms]]) `car`. Comparison between Simple and Detailed Modes:
[[image:mode_simple.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Simple Mode]] [[image:mode_detailed.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Detailed Mode]]
==Suggestions==
[[Image:Artha Suggestions.png|thumb|Suggestions given when a word is misspelt]]
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation#Suggestions|Installation]] for further details.

==Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus==
[[Image:screen_antonyms.png|thumb|Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus. [[Screenshots]]]]
Artha is a free cross-platform open-source English thesaurus based on [http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet] released under the GNU [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html General Public Licence version 2]. Stable releases for [[download]] are currently available for [[Wikipedia:Linux|GNU/Linux]]; it is tested on major [[Wikipedia:Desktop environment|Desktop Environments]] like [[Wikipedia:GNOME|GNOME]], [[Wikipedia:KDE|KDE]], [[Wikipedia:Xfce|Xfce]], etc.
==Overview==
Artha is a handy thesaurus that focuses on high usability, without trading off simplicity and ease of use. It has the following distinct features that increases its usability:
* [[Features#WordNet|WordNet]] - Artha harnesses the extensive & in-depth database provided by WordNet. Unlike other dictionaries which goes on-line for every single lookup, Artha works completely off-line; thanks to WordNet for its excellent and cognitive database.
* [[Features#Hot key Lookup|Hot key Lookup]] - When you press a pre-set hot key, after selecting some text on any window, Artha pops up with the selection's definitions looked-up.
* [[Features#Regular Expressions Search]] - When a word is vaguely known I.e. the user is unclear of its spelling or when it's start/end alone is known or the number of characters are known; one can speed up/narrow the search using regular expression to locate the particular word they have in mind.
* [[Features#Notifications|Notifications]] - Artha can show passive notifications (balloon tips) instead of the application's window popping up, so that you can continue what you were doing, uninterrupted. (like reading, writing, etc.)
* [[Features#Suggestions|Suggestions]] - When a misspelled word is queried for, Artha gives you its near-match suggestions.
* [[Features#Relative to Sense Mapping|Relative to Sense Mapping]] - Relative words like synonyms, antonyms, etc. that are displayed are many. You might not know to which sense/definition of a word does a relative map to. In Artha, when you select a relative, its corresponding definition is scrolled to and highlighted for easy comprehension.
For a given word, the possible relatives shown by Artha includes [[Features#Synonyms|Synonyms]], [[Features#Antonyms|Antonyms]], [[Features#Derivatives|Derivatives]], [[Features#Pertainyms|Pertainyms]] (Related Noun/Verb), [[Features#Attributes|Attributes]], [[Features#Similar Terms|Similar Terms]], [[Features#Domain Terms|Domain Terms]], [[Features#Entails|Entails]] (what verb entails doing), [[Features#Causes|Causes]] (what a verb causes to), [[Features#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] (is a kind of), [[Features#Hyponyms|Hyponyms]] (kinds), [[Features#Holonyms|Holonyms]] (is a part of) and [[Features#Meronyms|Meronyms]] (parts). To know more about each category of relatives, click on it for an explanation and example. Once launched, Artha sits on the system tray and looks for the pre-set hot key combination press. You can select some text on any window, and call Artha by pressing the key combo. Depending upon the option set, Artha with either pop-up with the word looked-up or will show a passive notification of the most important definition of the searched term, from the system tray.
==Get Artha==
See the [[Download]] page to get Artha for your platform.
==Development==
Artha is written in pure [[Wikipedia:C_(programming_language)|C]] using the [[Wikipedia:GTK|GTK+ widget kit]] and [[Wikipedia:Glib|GLib]] libraries, making it cross-desktop and cross-platform. It uses [http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet] for its database corpus, [http://www.galago-project.org/ libnotify] for notifications and [http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/ Enchant] for spelling suggestions. It may be used as a advanced replacement for the proprietary software [http://www.wordweb.info/ WordWeb] in GNU/Linux environments. Currently different flavours of GNU/Linux are targeted. Porting to other UNIX-like systems (BSD, Solaris, etc.), Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows will commence soon.

==Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus==
[[Image:screen_antonyms.png|thumb|Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus. [[Screenshots]]]]
Artha is a free cross-platform English thesaurus that works completely off-line and is based on [http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet]. Stable releases for [[download]] are currently available for [[Wikipedia:Linux|GNU/Linux]] and [[Microsoft Windows]]; it is tested on major [[Wikipedia:Desktop environment|Desktop Environments]] like [[Wikipedia:GNOME|GNOME]], [[Wikipedia:KDE|KDE]], [[Wikipedia:Xfce|Xfce]], etc and on Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and 7. Artha is released under the GNU [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html General Public Licence version 2]; hence you are free to copy/redistribute it.
==What's New!==
For latest discussions please visit [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1065384 this page] in the Ubuntu Forums.
The most recent release of Artha 1.0.2's highlights:
* First ever Windows release of Artha
* Faster notification turnaround time
* Minor bug fixes
Sneak peaks of the next release:
* Long awaited Pronunciation feature
* Persistent History of lookups
==Overview==
Artha is a handy thesaurus that focuses on high usability, without trading off simplicity and ease of use. It has the following distinct features that increases its usability:
* [[Features#WordNet|WordNet]] - Artha harnesses the extensive & in-depth database provided by WordNet. Unlike other dictionaries which goes on-line for every single lookup, Artha works completely off-line; thanks to WordNet for its excellent and cognitive database.
* [[Features#Hot key Lookup|Hot key Lookup]] - When you press a pre-set hot key, after selecting some text on any window, Artha pops up with the selection's definitions looked-up.
* [[Features#Regular Expressions Search|Regular Expressions Search]] - When a word is vaguely known I.e. the user is unclear of its spelling or when it's start/end alone is known or when the number of characters is known; one can speed up/narrow the search using regular expression to locate the particular word they have in mind.
* [[Features#Notifications|Notifications]] - Artha can show passive notifications (balloon tips) instead of the application's window popping up, so that you can continue what you were doing, uninterrupted. (like reading, writing, etc.)
* [[Features#Suggestions|Suggestions]] - When a misspelled word is queried for, Artha gives you its near-match suggestions.
* [[Features#Relative to Sense Mapping|Relative to Sense Mapping]] - Relative words like synonyms, antonyms, etc. that are displayed are many. You might not know to which sense/definition of a word does a relative map to. In Artha, when you select a relative, its corresponding definition is scrolled to and highlighted for easy comprehension.
For a given word, the possible relatives shown by Artha includes [[Features#Synonyms|Synonyms]], [[Features#Antonyms|Antonyms]], [[Features#Derivatives|Derivatives]], [[Features#Pertainyms|Pertainyms]] (Related Noun/Verb), [[Features#Attributes|Attributes]], [[Features#Similar Terms|Similar Terms]], [[Features#Domain Terms|Domain Terms]], [[Features#Entails|Entails]] (what verb entails doing), [[Features#Causes|Causes]] (what a verb causes to), [[Features#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] (is a kind of), [[Features#Hyponyms|Hyponyms]] (kinds), [[Features#Holonyms|Holonyms]] (is a part of) and [[Features#Meronyms|Meronyms]] (parts).

If you are using [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] or its derivatives like [[Wikipedia:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Kubuntu|Kubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Xubuntu|Xubuntu]], etc. then Artha is already available in the repositories. You can install it by:
$ sudo apt-get install artha
Ubuntu has 0.8.0 version and Debian has the 0.9.1 version of Artha in their respective repositories; so by installing using the above command, you'll not get the latest. 1.0.0 release.

If you are using [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] or its derivatives like [[Wikipedia:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Kubuntu|Kubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Xubuntu|Xubuntu]], etc. then Artha is already available in the repositories. You can install it by:
$ sudo apt-get install artha
Ubuntu has 0.8.0 version and Debian has the 0.9.1 version of Artha in their respective repositories; so by installing using the above command, you'll not get the latest. 1.0.0 release.

Should you end up in broken dependencies give <tt>sudo apt-get install -f</tt> to resolve it; ''apt'' will take care of fixing it. On most Debian based distros, gdebi-gtk (GUI front end of gdebi) comes pre-installed. If you have it installed, you can simply double click the downloaded .deb file and gdebi will show you a graphical interface to install Artha. Follow the instructions and it will install Artha resolving dependencies. If you go by the CLI way:
$ sudo gdebi artha_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb
Make sure the '''Universe''' repositories are enabled in your repositories list for gdebi will look for WordNet which is available only in the ''Universe''.
====Fedora & friends====
[[Wikipedia:Fedora_(operating_system)|Fedora]] (Leonidas/11 or above) has version 0.9.1 in it's repository right now. This can be installed in Fedora/Redhat thus:
# yum install artha
Should you want the latest 1.0.1, you have to manually compile it from the source tarball, since the 1.0.1 rpm is yet to be made.
====Others====
For other (Linux) distros, binaries do not exist right now. Please download the [[#Source|source]] and build it. See [[Installation]] page for details on how to build and install Artha from source.

====Debian & family====
If you are using [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] or its derivatives like [[Wikipedia:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Kubuntu|Kubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Xubuntu|Xubuntu]], etc. then Artha is already available in the repositories. You can install it by:
$ sudo apt-get install artha
Ubuntu Karmic has 0.8.0, Lucid has 0.9.1 and Debian (Lenny or greater) has the 0.9.1 versions of Artha in their respective repositories; so by installing using the above command, you'll not get the latest 1.0.2 release.

text/x-wiki
If you are installing Artha using prebuilt binaries (.deb), please visit the [[Download]] page for installation instructions. If you are building Artha from source then this page is for you.
==Dependencies==
Artha directly depends on the following libraries. Please note that you will need to have the development headers (.h and .a/.so) of these libraries along with the actual library files.
{| border="0"
!bgcolor="orange"|Library
!bgcolor="lightblue"|Min. Version
!bgcolor="lightgreen"|Common Package Name
|-
| [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/obtain wordnet]

|-
| [http://www.gtk.org/download.html gtk+]
|align="center"| 2.12 ||align="center"| libgtk2.0-dev
|}
You will need the following tools to build:
* [http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html GNU Compiler Collection] (GCC)
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/#downloading Autoconf] (>= 2.50)
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/#downloading Automake]
* gtk-builder-convert (gets installed along with libgtk2.0-dev)
* [http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/ pkg-config]
If you have installed GTK+ and GLib properly, ''pkg-config'' should be able to give the cflags and libs of GTK+ and GLib on the following command.
pkg-config --cflags --libs libgtk+-2.0
==Optional Libraries==
===Notifications===
For Notifications feature to be available, you need [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php libnotify-dev] (>= 0.4.1) and libdbus-glib-1-dev (>= 0.74). Also pkg-config should be able to give the cflags and libs of libnotify and libdbus-glib on the following command.
pkg-config --cflags --libs libnotify dbus-glib-1
It is to be noted that even though libnotify is enough (necessary condition) to build Artha with notifications feature, the sufficient condition to actually see the notifications appear on-screen is to have [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php notification daemon] installed. This is to be installed, which will actually put up the notifications on request by Artha.
===Suggestions===
For Artha to show suggestions when a misspelled word is queried, libenchat binaries (run time files) are required. While building Artha, libenchant's development headers are not required. Artha looks for libenchat's availability only at run-time. Also a valid spell checker like [[Wikipedia:Aspell|GNU Aspell]] and an [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/en/aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2 English dictionary] that works with that spell checker, is required to be installed for libenchant to work. The locale of the English dictionary is not an problem; any English dictionary that could work with the installed spell checker is sufficient.
==Configuring and Building==
Once you have the tar ball from [[Download]]. Extract it. This will create a directory ''artha-0.9.1''.
tar xzvf artha-0.9.1.tar.gz
cd artha-0.9.1
Now you can configure. Use the prefix parameter to install it in /usr and by default ''configure'' configures it to /usr/local, which is not the actual path for installations.
./configure --prefix=/usr
If you have all the aforementioned dependencies right, configure will end with no errors. Should it encounter errors, follow the on-screen instructions it says to fix them.
To build give
make
==Installing==
You need to install Artha to run it, successful building is necessary but not sufficient. To install artha you need ''root'' privileges.
make install (as ''root'')
Once the installation is complete, you can run Artha
artha
Or give ''man'' for Artha's manual
man artha
A shortcut will also get created in the ''Applications->Accessories'' menu.
==Uninstalling==
To uninstall Artha give a ''make uninstall'' (as root) in a Terminal window.

For Notifications feature to be available, you need [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php libnotify's] (>= 0.4.1) binary (libnotify.so.1) available on your system. The development headers of libnotify is not required, just the runtime of libnotify alone is enough.
'''NOTE:''' Even though libnotify (necessary condition) is enough for Artha to expose the ''Notifications'' feature, the sufficient condition to actually see the notifications appear on-screen is to have the [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php notification daemon] installed.

The locale of the English dictionary is not an problem; any English dictionary that could work with the installed spell checker is sufficient.
===Regex Search===
For regular expressions based search to work, the sense index file '''''index.sense''''' of WordNet should be available on your system, in the same directory as your other WordNet dict files.
==Configuring and Building==
Once you have the tar ball from [[Download]]. Extract it. This will create a directory ''artha-1.0.0''.
tar xzvf artha-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd artha-1.0.0
Now you can configure. Use the prefix parameter to install it in /usr and by default ''configure'' configures it to /usr/local, which is not the actual path for installations.

You will need the following tools to build:
* [http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html GNU Compiler Collection] (GCC)
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/#downloading Autoconf] (>= 2.50)
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/#downloading Automake]
* [http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/ pkg-config]
If you have installed GTK+, GLib and dbus-glib properly, ''pkg-config'' should be able to give the CFLAGS and LIBS params of the libraries on the following command:
pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 glib-2.0 dbus-glib-1
==Optional Libraries==
===Notifications===
For Notifications feature to be available, you need [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php libnotify's] (>= 0.4.1) binary (libnotify.so.1) available on your system. The development headers of libnotify is not required, just the runtime of libnotify alone is enough.
'''NOTE:''' Even though libnotify (necessary condition) is enough for Artha to expose the ''Notifications'' feature, the sufficient condition to actually see the notifications appear on-screen is to have the [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php notification daemon] installed. It is this daemon which actually will put up the notifications requested by Artha.
===Suggestions===
For Artha to show suggestions when a misspelled word is queried, libenchat binaries (run time files) are required. While building Artha, libenchant's development headers are not required. Artha looks for libenchat's availability only at run-time. Also a valid spell checker like [[Wikipedia:Aspell|GNU Aspell]] and an [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/en/aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2 English dictionary] that works with that spell checker, is required to be installed for libenchant to work. The locale of the English dictionary is not an problem; any English dictionary that could work with the installed spell checker is sufficient.
===Regex Search===
For regular expressions based search to work, the sense index file '''''index.sense''''' of WordNet should be available on your system, in the same directory as your other WordNet dict files.
==Configuring and Building==
Once you have the tar ball from [[Download]]. Extract it. This will create a directory ''artha-1.0.0''.
tar xzvf artha-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd artha-1.0.0
Now you can configure. Use the prefix parameter to install it in /usr and by default ''configure'' configures it to /usr/local, which is not the actual path for installations.
./configure --prefix=/usr
If you have all the aforementioned dependencies right, configure will end with no errors. Should it encounter errors, follow the on-screen instructions it says to fix them.
To build give
make
==Installing==
You need to install Artha to run it, successful building is necessary but not sufficient. To install artha you need ''root'' privileges.
make install (as ''root'')
Once the installation is complete, you can run Artha
artha
Or give ''man'' for Artha's manual
man artha
A shortcut will also get created in the ''Applications->Accessories'' menu.
==Uninstalling==
To uninstall Artha give a ''make uninstall'' (as root) in a Terminal window.

'''Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus''' is a cross-platform open source thesaurus based on WordNet released under the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html GPL v2 licence]. This Wiki is its homepage.
In [[Wikipedia:Tamil|Tamil]] ([http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/search3advanced?dbname=tamillex&query=அருத்தம்&matchtype=exact&display=utf8 அருத்தம்]) ''Arutham'' implies meaning, definition, reason, implication or material. Hence this name for the thesaurus.
Also in [[Wikipedia:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] ([[Wikipedia:Devanagari|Devanagari]]: अर्थ) [[Wikipedia:artha|''Artha'']] means purpose, cause, motive, meaning and notion.
Developed and Maintained by
'''Sundaram Ramaswamy''' ''<legends2k [at] yahoo [dot] com>''
When I started using GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, to be precise), I was surprised to know that there wasn't a free and open thesaurus that's as handy as the proprietary ones available on the Windows platform. Even more, they're all using Princeton's (free) WordNet under the hood, while charging for their application; WordNet's name appears only in the licence of their ''About'' boxes. I enquired about the availablity of such an application in the Ubuntu Forums if it's already there ([http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=598267 post can be seen here]). No reply came; I felt having such an application might be very useful for the free/open-source software community and thus Artha.
Thanks to all the developers and non-technical contributors. Most importantly:
* '''CS Shyam Sundar''' (for numerous valuable inputs and help on hosting this Wiki)
''<csshyamsundar [at] gmail [dot] com>''
* '''GTK App. Developer Mailing List''' (for help in sorting out a few issues in development)
''<gtk-app-devel-list [at] gnome [dot] org>''
==Inspiration==
[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet] is an excellent thesaurus database and a work of art by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University. But WordNet in itself is difficult for the masses to grasp, with its minimalistic ''WordNet Browser'' and lot of jargon. Hence a need for a simple and handy GUI arose. This led to the birth of Artha, a new thesaurus over WordNet, for easy access and to improve the usability of WordNet. Nevertheless, without WordNet Artha would not have been possible. Many thanks to [[Wikipedia:George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]] and Cognitive Science Laboratory, Princeton University for giving such a vast, comprehend-able corpus for free, which can be used for correlated study of the English language and its nuances.
[http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin] - The Instant Messanger was the prime source of inspiration to create a cross-platform application and in choosing GTK+. Its ease of use and consistency across different operating systems was a compelling drive.

Updated to version 1.0.3
wikitext
text/x-wiki
==Source==
The latest stable release of Artha is 1.0.3 ([http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3 Release Notes and Change Log]). Click on either of links below to download.
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3/artha-1.0.3.tar.gz/download artha-1.0.3.tar.gz]
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3/artha-1.0.3.tar.bz2/download artha-1.0.3.tar.bz2]
Refer [[Installation]] for help on how to build and install Artha.
==Binaries==
===Windows===
Download [http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3/artha_1.0.3.0.exe/download artha_1.0.3.0.exe] ~ 11.5 [[Wikipedia:Mebibyte|MiB]].
The installation requires Windows XP or later (32/64-bit) and a free space of 49.8 MiB.
===Linux===
====Debian & family====
If you are using [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] or its derivatives like [[Wikipedia:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Kubuntu|Kubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Xubuntu|Xubuntu]], etc. then Artha is already available in the repositories. You can install it by:
$ sudo apt-get install artha
Both Debian and Ubuntu has the version 1.0.2 of Artha in their respective repositories; so by installing using the above command, you'll not get the latest 1.0.3 release. Hence if you prefer to have the latest version, there are two options available ~ PPA and direct .deb download.
=====PPA=====
Artha now has a [https://launchpad.net/~legends2k/+archive/artha PPA in launchpad]. This can be added to your system's repository sources through
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:legends2k/artha
Once this is done, update the package data and install Artha.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install artha
=====DEB=====
Alternatively, you can also download the deb file below for your architecture and install the same (instructions below). This is more of a manual method and the PPA method is encouraged over this one, since this method lacks automatic updation of the package, should there be a newer version of Artha.

|}
<br>
<big>'''NOTE:'''</big>
Please use '''''gdebi''''' to install this deb package. '''Do not''' use '''dpkg''', since it does not have the ability to automatically resolve dependencies and will lead to broken dependencies. Should you end up in broken dependencies give <tt>sudo apt-get install -f</tt> to resolve it; ''apt'' will take care of fixing it. On most Debian based distros, gdebi-gtk (GUI front end of gdebi) comes pre-installed. If you have it installed, you can simply double click the downloaded .deb file and gdebi will show you a graphical interface to install Artha. Follow the instructions and it will install Artha resolving dependencies. If you go by the CLI way:
$ sudo gdebi artha_1.0.3-1_i386.deb
Make sure the '''Universe''' repositories are enabled in your repositories list for gdebi will look for WordNet which is available only in the ''Universe''.
====Fedora & friends====
[[Wikipedia:Fedora_(operating_system)|Fedora]] (Leonidas/11 or above) has version 1.0.2 in it's repository right now. This can be installed in Fedora/Redhat thus:
# yum install artha
====Others====
For other (Linux) distros, binaries do not exist right now. Please download the [[#Source|source]] and build it. See [[Installation]] page for details on how to build and install Artha from source.

The latest stable release of Artha is 1.0.3 ([http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3 Release Notes and Change Log]). Click on either of links below to download.
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3/artha-1.0.3.tar.gz/download artha-1.0.3.tar.gz]
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3/artha-1.0.3.tar.bz2/download artha-1.0.3.tar.bz2]
Refer [[Installation]] for help on how to build and install Artha.
==Binaries==
===Windows===
Download [http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3/artha_1.0.3.0.exe/download artha_1.0.3.0.exe] ~ 12.1 [[Wikipedia:Mebibyte|MiB]].
The installation requires Windows XP or later (32/64-bit) and a free space of 49.8 MiB.
===Linux===
====Debian & family====
If you are using [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] or its derivatives like [[Wikipedia:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Kubuntu|Kubuntu]], [[Wikipedia:Xubuntu|Xubuntu]], etc. then Artha is already available in the repositories. You can install it by:
$ sudo apt-get install artha
Both Debian and Ubuntu has the version 1.0.2 of Artha in their respective repositories; so by installing using the above command, you'll not get the latest 1.0.3 release. Hence if you prefer to have the latest version, there are two options available ~ PPA and direct .deb download.
=====PPA=====
Artha now has a [https://launchpad.net/~legends2k/+archive/artha PPA in launchpad]. This can be added to your system's repository sources through
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:legends2k/artha
Once this is done, update the package data and install Artha.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install artha
=====DEB=====
Alternatively, you can also download the deb file below for your architecture and install the same (instructions below). This is more of a manual method and the PPA method is encouraged over this one, since this method lacks automatic updation of the package, should there be a newer version of Artha.

<big>'''NOTE:'''</big>
Please use '''''gdebi''''' to install this deb package. '''Do not''' use '''dpkg''', since it does not have the ability to automatically resolve dependencies and will lead to broken dependencies. Should you end up in broken dependencies give <tt>sudo apt-get install -f</tt> to resolve it; ''apt'' will take care of fixing it. On most Debian based distros, gdebi-gtk (GUI front end of gdebi) comes pre-installed. If you have it installed, you can simply double click the downloaded .deb file and gdebi will show you a graphical interface to install Artha. Follow the instructions and it will install Artha resolving dependencies. If you go by the CLI way:
$ sudo gdebi artha_1.0.3-1_i386.deb
Make sure the '''Universe''' repositories are enabled in your repositories list for gdebi will look for WordNet which is available only in the ''Universe''.
====Fedora & friends====
[[Wikipedia:Fedora_(operating_system)|Fedora]] (Leonidas/11 or above) has version 1.0.2 in it's repository right now. This can be installed in Fedora/Redhat thus:
# yum install artha

wikitext
text/x-wiki
If you are installing Artha using prebuilt binaries (.deb), please visit the [[Download]] page for installation instructions. If you are building Artha from source then this page is for you.
==Dependencies==
Artha directly depends on the following libraries. Please note that you will need to have the development headers (.h and .a/.so) of these libraries along with the actual library files.
{| border="0"
!bgcolor="orange"|Library
!bgcolor="lightblue"|Min. Version
!bgcolor="lightgreen"|Common Package Name
|-
| [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/download/ wordnet]

|-

|-
| [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DBusBindings dbus-glib]
|align="center"| 0.70 ||align="center"| libdbus-glib-1-dev
|}
You will need the following tools to build:
* [http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html GNU Compiler Collection] (GCC)
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/#downloading Autoconf] (>= 2.50)
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/#downloading Automake]
* [http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/ pkg-config]
If you have installed GTK+, GLib and dbus-glib properly, ''pkg-config'' should be able to give the CFLAGS and LIBS params of the libraries on the following command:
$ pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 glib-2.0 dbus-glib-1
==Optional Libraries==
===Notifications===
For Notifications feature to be available, you need [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php libnotify's] (>= 0.4.1) binary (libnotify.so.1 or higher) available on your system. The development headers of libnotify is not required, just the runtime of libnotify alone is enough.
'''NOTE:''' Even though libnotify (necessary condition) is enough for Artha to expose the ''Notifications'' feature, the sufficient condition to actually see the notifications appear on-screen is to have the [http://www.galago-project.org/downloads.php notification daemon] installed. It is this daemon which actually will put up the notifications requested by Artha.
===Suggestions===
For Artha to show suggestions when a misspelled word is queried, libenchat binaries (run time files) are required. While building Artha, libenchant's development headers are not required. Artha looks for libenchat's availability only at run-time. Also a valid spell checker like [[Wikipedia:Aspell|GNU Aspell]] and an [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/en/aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2 English dictionary] that works with that spell checker, is required to be installed for libenchant to work. The locale of the English dictionary is not an problem; any English dictionary that could work with the installed spell checker is sufficient.
===Regex Search===
For regular expressions based search to work, the sense index file '''''index.sense''''' of WordNet should be available on your system, in the same directory as your other WordNet dict files.
==Configuring and Building==
Once you have the tar ball from [[Download]]. Extract it. This will create a directory ''artha-1.0.3''.
$ tar xzvf artha-1.0.3.tar.bz2
$ cd artha-1.0.3
Now you can configure. Use the prefix parameter to install it in /usr and by default ''configure'' configures it to /usr/local, which is not the actual path for installations.
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
If you have all the aforementioned dependencies right, configure will end with no errors. Should it encounter errors, follow the on-screen instructions it says to fix them.
To build give
$ make
==Installing==
You need to install Artha to run it, successful building is necessary but not sufficient. To install artha you need ''root'' privileges.
# make install (as ''root'')
Once the installation is complete, you can run Artha
$ artha
Or give ''man'' for Artha's manual
$ man artha
A shortcut will also get created in the ''Applications->Accessories'' menu.
==Uninstalling==
To uninstall Artha give a ''make uninstall'' (as root) in a Terminal window.

==Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus==
[[Image:screen_antonyms.png|thumb|Artha ~ The Open Thesaurus. [[Screenshots]]]]
Artha is a free cross-platform English thesaurus that works completely off-line and is based on [http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet]. Stable releases for [[download]] are currently available for [[Wikipedia:Linux|GNU/Linux]], [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]] and [[Wikipedia:Windows Phone|Windows Phone 7]]; it is tested on major [[Wikipedia:Desktop environment|Desktop Environments]] like [[Wikipedia:GNOME|GNOME]], [[Wikipedia:KDE|KDE]], [[Wikipedia:Xfce|Xfce]], etc and on Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Artha is released under the GNU [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html General Public Licence version 2]; hence you are free to copy/redistribute it.
==What's New!==
<h4>Artha 1.0.3 is out now! [http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/artha/1.0.3/ Download it].</h4>
For latest discussions please visit [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1065384 this page] in the Ubuntu Forums.
The most recent release of Artha 1.0.3's highlights:
* Auto completion of wordnet terms as you type
* Lookup history made persistant; can be cleared or stored for user's reference
* Status/tray icon display now made optional
* Familiarity/Polysemy count display now made optional
* Show window on startup made optional
* Lots of bug fixes
Sneak peaks of the next release:
* Long awaited Pronunciation feature
==Overview==
Artha is a handy thesaurus that focuses on high usability, without trading off simplicity and ease of use. It has the following distinct features that increases its usability:
* [[Features#WordNet|WordNet]] - Artha harnesses the extensive & in-depth database provided by WordNet. Unlike other dictionaries which goes on-line for every single lookup, Artha works completely off-line; thanks to WordNet for its excellent and cognitive database.
* [[Features#Hot key Lookup|Hot key Lookup]] - When you press a pre-set hot key, after selecting some text on any window, Artha pops up with the selection's definitions looked-up.
* [[Features#Regular Expressions Search|Regular Expressions Search]] - When a word is vaguely known I.e. the user is unclear of its spelling or when it's start/end alone is known or when the number of characters is known; one can speed up/narrow the search using regular expression to locate the particular word they have in mind.
* [[Features#Notifications|Notifications]] - Artha can show passive notifications (balloon tips) instead of the application's window popping up, so that you can continue what you were doing, uninterrupted. (like reading, writing, etc.)
* [[Features#Suggestions|Suggestions]] - When a misspelled word is queried for, Artha gives you its near-match suggestions.
* [[Features#Relative to Sense Mapping|Relative to Sense Mapping]] - Relative words like synonyms, antonyms, etc. that are displayed are many. You might not know to which sense/definition of a word does a relative map to. In Artha, when you select a relative, its corresponding definition is scrolled to and highlighted for easy comprehension.
For a given word, the possible relatives shown by Artha includes [[Features#Synonyms|Synonyms]], [[Features#Antonyms|Antonyms]], [[Features#Derivatives|Derivatives]], [[Features#Pertainyms|Pertainyms]] (Related Noun/Verb), [[Features#Attributes|Attributes]], [[Features#Similar Terms|Similar Terms]], [[Features#Domain Terms|Domain Terms]], [[Features#Entails|Entails]] (what verb entails doing), [[Features#Causes|Causes]] (what a verb causes to), [[Features#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] (is a kind of), [[Features#Hyponyms|Hyponyms]] (kinds), [[Features#Holonyms|Holonyms]] (is a part of) and [[Features#Meronyms|Meronyms]] (parts). To know more about each category of relatives, click on it for an explanation and example. Once launched, Artha sits on the system tray and looks for the pre-set hot key combination press. You can select some text on any window, and call Artha by pressing the key combo. Depending upon the option set, Artha with either pop-up with the word looked-up or will show a passive notification of the most important definition of the searched term, from the system tray.
==Get Artha==
See the [[Download]] page to get Artha for your platform.
==Development==
Artha is written in pure [[Wikipedia:C_(programming_language)|C]] using the [[Wikipedia:GTK|GTK+ widget kit]] and [[Wikipedia:Glib|GLib]] libraries, making it cross-desktop and cross-platform. It uses [http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet] for its database corpus, [http://www.galago-project.org/ libnotify] for notifications and [http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/ Enchant] for spelling suggestions. It may be used as a advanced replacement for the proprietary software [http://www.wordweb.info/ WordWeb Pro] in both Windows and GNU/Linux environments. Currently different flavours of GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows XP and upwards are supported. Porting to other UNIX-like systems (BSD, Solaris, etc.) and Apple Mac OS X will commence soon.

__NOTOC__
==Hotkey Lookup==
[[Image:Hotkey_Editor.png|thumb|Hotkey Editor (since 1.0.0)]]
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hotkey lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail on a mail client, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it will pop-up with the definitions of the selection made of that window. To know the hot key that is set currently or to change it, press the ''Hotkey'' button on the toolbar; this shows up the '''Hotkey Editor''' dialog using which you can view/change the hotkey currently set. Hotkey feature can be disabled as well; but to summon Artha for lookup or to get passive desktop notifications, hotkey should be set. When Artha is run the first time, after installation, it will try to set an arbitrary hotkey, in the order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, no hotkey will be set. You can change the same via tha hotkey editor to whichever key combination you prefer.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Artha notifying the definition of ''thesaurus'':
[[image:notify.png|Notification of definition of 'thesaurus']]
Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications. Refer [[Installation#Notifications|Installation]] for further details.
==On-the-fly Search==
[[Image:Autocomplete.png|thumb|Possible matches show for "gradu"]]
As you start typing letters in the Query box, Artha starts searching/filtering terms in the thesaurus for a match, to what is getting typed and shows a list of possible matches. This will help the user find the searched word quicker, and also the possibility of learning new words is made higher with this feature.
==Regular Expressions Search==
[[Image:Regex wildcard.png|thumb|Regex search using wildcard (*)]]
Regular expressions (regex) can be used easily to search for terms in the thesaurus. It's a powerful way to zero-in a particular word you vaguely know it's spelling and want to locate it in the thesaurus. Artha’s regular expression pattern closely follows [[Wikipedia::wildmat|wildmat]] syntax by Rich Salz owing to its simplicity. Possible regex searches are:
* wildcard - * - matches any number of (including zero) unknown characters
* joker - ? - matches one unknown character
* range - [...] - matches one unknown character within the range specified
* limits - {m, n} - upper & lower limits of the number of characters in a range; should be used in combination e.g. [a-e]{1,2} will match minimum 1 and maximum 2 occurrences of a to e
* no in the range - [^...] - matches one unknown character NOT within the range specified
'''Examples''':
[[Image:Regex joker.png|thumb|Regex search using joker (?)]]
* Expr. ‘cro*p‘ means the term you want to corner starts with ‘cro‘ and ends with ‘p‘ while the number of characters in between are unknown. It fetches crop, crop up, croup, crock up and crow step.
* Expr. ‘*chester‘ means the searched word ends with a ‘chester‘ while the beginning and its number characters are unknown. It fetches chester, manchester, rochester, winchester and toy manchester.
* Expr. ‘can????r‘ means the term sought starts with ‘can‘ and ends with ‘r‘ while you are sure that there are 5 unknown characters in between. It fetches canister and cannular.
* Expr. ‘andre*[x|y|z]‘ means the word searched for starts with andre and ends with either an x or y or z, and there could be any number of terms in betweem these. It fetches andre malraux, andrei tarkovsky, andres martinez, etc.
* Expr. ‘a[c|d|e]{2,}‘ means the word looked for starts with a and then there are minimum 2 or more occurances of c, d or e. It fetches acc, accede, ace, add, ade and aec.
==WordNet==
[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet] is a free open lexical database for English, by Cognitive Science Laboratory of Princeton University under the direction of psychology professor [[Wikipedia::George Armitage Miller|George A. Miller]]. It is what its name says. Each word will have one or more definitions (or senses, technically). Apart from these definitions, a word is interlinked to other words by a relation like Synonyms, Hypernyms, etc. Generally, We tend to forget a word by learning a word's definitions alone. That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':
[[Image:indirect_antonyms.png|Indirect Antonyms of Rich]] [[Image:inferred_antonyms.png|Direct and Inferred Antonyms of Rich]]
===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view. When a relative is displayed in bold, it implies that it has mappings to more than one sense.
Relative to Sense Mapping show for ''rich''`s synonym ''deep'':
[[image:Sense_mapping.png|Relative-Sense Mapping of rich's synonym deep]]
==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.
Artha showing parts of ([[#Meronyms|Meronyms]]) `car`. Comparison between Simple and Detailed Modes:
[[image:mode_simple.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Simple Mode]] [[image:mode_detailed.png|Car's Meronyms/Parts in Detailed Mode]]
==Suggestions==
[[Image:Artha Suggestions.png|thumb|Suggestions given when a word is misspelt]]
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation#Suggestions|Installation]] for further details.

==Hotkey Lookup==
[[Image:Hotkey_Editor.png|thumb|Hotkey Editor (since 1.0.0)]]
One of the most important feature of Artha that makes it handy is the hotkey lookup feature. When you are reading an article in the browser, or composing a mail on a mail client, or working on the Terminal, be it any window, when you select some text in it and press the pre-set hot key combination assigned to Artha, it will pop-up with the definitions of the selection made of that window. To know the hot key that is set currently or to change it, press the ''Hotkey'' button on the toolbar; this shows up the '''Hotkey Editor''' dialog using which you can view/change the hotkey currently set. Hotkey feature can be disabled as well; but to summon Artha for lookup or to get passive desktop notifications, hotkey should be set. When Artha is run the first time, after installation, it will try to set an arbitrary hotkey, in the order:
* Ctrl + Alt + W
* Ctrl + Alt + A
* Ctrl + Alt + T
* Ctrl + Alt + Q
When one fails it tries to set the next. If all the above hot keys are pre-occupied by some other application, no hotkey will be set. You can change the same via tha hotkey editor to whichever key combination you prefer.
==Notifications==
Notifications are passive messages that pop up from the system tray (generally), without expecting the user to make an input, so that he/she can continue to do what he/she was doing, uninterrupted. These are sometimes called balloon tips (in Microsoft Windows). Artha has the capability to show notifications. If you enable notifications, and when you select some text on a window and press the hot key, instead of popping-up, Artha will show a notification of the most prime definition of the query and continue to stay on the system try, so that you can carry on with your work with out an interruption. Should you require more details on it, you can always click on the system try icon or the '''Detailed Lookup''' button on the notification window.
Artha notifying the definition of ''thesaurus'':
[[image:notify.png|Notification of definition of 'thesaurus']]
Notifications can be enabled or disabled by the '''Notify''' button on the tool bar or by right-clicking on Artha's system tray icon and choosing Notify in the pop-up menu. If no such button/menu appears, then check if libnotify and notifications-daemon are installed on your system. These components are mandatory to show notifications.

* no in the range - [^...] - matches one unknown character NOT within the range specified
'''Examples''':
[[Image:Regex joker.png|thumb|Regex search using joker (?)]]
* Expr. ‘cro*p‘ means the term you want to corner starts with ‘cro‘ and ends with ‘p‘ while the number of characters in between are unknown. It fetches crop, crop up, croup, crock up and crow step.
* Expr. ‘*chester‘ means the searched word ends with a ‘chester‘ while the beginning and its number characters are unknown. It fetches chester, manchester, rochester, winchester and toy manchester.
* Expr. ‘can????r‘ means the term sought starts with ‘can‘ and ends with ‘r‘ while you are sure that there are 5 unknown characters in between. It fetches canister and cannular.
* Expr. ‘andre*[x|y|z]‘ means the word searched for starts with andre and ends with either an x or y or z, and there could be any number of terms in betweem these. It fetches andre malraux, andrei tarkovsky, andres martinez, etc.
* Expr. ‘a[c|d|e]{2,}‘ means the word looked for starts with a and then there are minimum 2 or more occurances of c, d or e. It fetches acc, accede, ace, add, ade and aec.

That's the prime reason, WordNet has this relatives feature by creating a net of words. When you learn a word, you also learn (or would at least glance) its relatives like what are its similar terms, what does a verb entail doing, etc. which makes a complete net of a word and its associates. These are displayed in an easily comprehend-able fashion by Artha.
===Senses===
A sense is a meaning/definition that a word conveys in a given context and Part of Speech (PoS). Many a time, a word will have more then one sense. The number of senses a word has (polysemy count), determines its familiarity.
E.g. ''clear'' conveys a variety of meanings in different parts of speech. Below listed are a few:
;As a verb:
# rid of obstructions
# make a way or path by removing objects
# grant authorization or clearance for
;As an adjective:
# readily apparent to the mind
# free from confusion or doubt
# affording free passage and view
;As a noun:
# the state of being free of suspicion (''the state of being free of suspicion'')
;As an adverb:
# completely (''slept clear through the night'')
# in an easily predictable manner (''she cried loud and clear'')
===Synonyms===
Words that infer the same meaning and can be interchanged in a particular context. This category of relatives is the most famous and the frequently visited.
E.g. '''pass''' is synonymous to '''clear''' with respect to its context "''grant authorization or clearance for''". (refer verb sense 3 above)
===Antonyms===
(Opposite) Words that expresses a meaning opposed to the meaning of the given word, in a given context. Antonyms can be direct, inferred or indirect. In simple mode, only direct antonyms are listed, while in detailed mode, inferred and indirect antonyms are also shown. See [[#Dual Modes|Dual Modes]] for details about the two different modes.
E.g. '''poor''' is a direct antonym of '''rich''', while '''broke''', '''penniless''', '''skint''', etc. are inferred antonyms from the direct antonym ''poor''. One of the senses of''rich'' is ''"having an abundant supply of"'', which makes ''abundant'' a synonym of ''rich'' and its antonym '''scarce''', becomes an indirect antonym to ''rich''.
Artha showing Indirect, Direct and Inferred antonyms of '''rich''':

===Derivatives===
Terms in different syntactic categories that have the same root form and are semantically related to the given word.
E.g. A few derivatives of ''clear'' would be:
* cleared
* clearing
* clearance
* clarity
* clearness
* lucidity
* uncloudedness
===Pertainyms===
Nouns or verbs an adjective closely pertains/relates to. Only adjectives have this category of relatives. Artha shows pertainyms under the tab "Relates To".
E.g. '''culinary''''s pertainyms are '''cuisine''', '''cooking''', '''cookery''', etc..
Artha showing pertainyms of '''culinary''':
[[image:pertains.png|Pertainyms of culinary]]
===Attributes===
A noun for which adjectives express values.
E.g. '''weight''' has ''attributes'' '''heavy''' and '''light'''. Or, conversely, '''heavy''' is an ''attribute of'' '''weight'''.
===Similar Terms===
Terms which are not exactly synonyms but they convey a similar meaning at a broader level.
E.g. Similar terms to '''clear''' are '''permit''', '''remove''', '''disappear''', etc.
===Domain Terms===
Terms that are specific to a topical class. Further classified as being a Category, Regional or Usage term. Simply put, domain terms are (lingo/jargon) terms that are specific to a topic, region or a classification. E.g.
* '''contrast''', '''underdeveloped''', '''overexposed''', etc. are domain terms of the ''topic'' '''photography'''.
* '''pukka''' and '''chancellor''' are domain terms of the ''region'' '''India''' and '''Britain''' respectively.
* '''freaky''' comes under the ''classification'' domain '''slang'''.
''moment'' is used in the domain '''statistics''' as per definition 6 and also ''moment'' means ''"an indefinitely short time"'' in the U.K. (definition 2). Hence it has 2 sections under Domain terms, namely Topic and Usage.
Artha showing the Domain Terms of '''moment'' in detailde mode':
[[image:domain.png|Domain Terms of 'moment']]
===Causes===
These are terms that denote what a verb causes in doing it. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kill''' causes to '''die'''. Hence '''die''' comes under '''kill's''' ''Causes'' terms.
===Entails===
A verb '''X''' entails '''Y''' if '''X''' cannot be done unless '''Y''' is, or has been, done. This category of relatives are specific to verbs.
E.g. '''kick''' entails doing '''move''' or '''displace'''. Hence '''move''' and '''displace''' come under '''kick's''' ''Enatils'' terms.
===Hypernyms===
Generic terms used to designate a whole class of specific instances. '''Y''' is a hypernym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''liquid''' is a ''hypernym'' of '''water'''.
Artha showing water's hypernyms (Kind of):
[[image:hypernyms.png|Hypernyms/Water is a kind of ...]]
===Hyponyms===
The specific term used to designate a member of a class. '''X''' is a hyponym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a (kind of) '''Y'''.
E.g. '''water''' is a kind of '''liquid'''. Hence '''water''' is a ''hyponym'' of '''liquid'''.
===Meronyms===
The name of a constituent part of, the substance of, or a member of something. '''X''' is a meronym of '''Y''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''accelerator''', '''wheel''', '''seat''', etc. are parts of a '''car'''. Hence they are its meronyms.
===Holonyms===
The name of the whole of which the meronym names a part. '''Y''' is a holonym of '''X''' if '''X''' is a part of '''Y'''.
E.g. '''tree''' is a part of '''forest''' or '''woods'''. Hence ''forest'' and ''woods'' are its holonyms.
==Relative to Sense Mapping==
For most words, more then one definition/sense and relatives are available. Hence correlating which relative corresponds to what senses gets clumsy. Hence this feature makes sure its easy for you to know the mapping between relatives and their senses. Just click on a relative from the displayed list. The serial number of those definitions corresponding to this relative is highlighted in black. The first such highlighted definition is scrolled to view. When a relative is displayed in bold, it implies that it has mappings to more than one sense.

==Dual Modes==
Artha has two modes of operation: '''Simple''' and '''Detailed'''. In the former, it shows only the relatives that occur at the first level i.e. lists and not trees. For instance, ''water''`s [[#Hypernyms|Hypernyms]] is a tree of relatives more then it is a list. In its first level, we have ''liquid'', which is further a kind of ''fluid'', which in turn is a kind of ''matter'', which is a kind of ''physical entity'', which is a kind of ''entity''. Hence each is at a level below the other and is not considered a list, but a tree. In simple mode, Artha will only show ''liquid'' and not the children under ''liquid''. This simple mode mimics what proprietary software like WordWeb does, while the Detailed mode, which can be enabled by clicking the tool bar button ''Detailed'', shows you trees of relatives, up to any depth until it reaches a end category. Likewise, in simple mode, only Direct Antonyms are available, while in Detailed, Inferred and Indirect antonyms are also visible.

==Persistant History==
[[image:history_options.png|thumb|right|History data can be cleared or saved]]
The lookups made in Artha can be seen in the Query box's drop down list; this list is persistant i.e. when you quit Artha and reopen it, the lookups made in the previous session will still be present in the drop down. History can be cleared if you feel it has data you don't need for later reference. History can also be saved so that if you're interested in having the list of words you learnt newly and to revisit them. Both clearing and saving history data can be done by right-clicking on the query box and selecting the appropriate option.
==Suggestions==
[[Image:Artha Suggestions.png|thumb|Suggestions given when a word is misspelt]]
When you type a word incorrectly/misspell and query it in Artha, apart from saying that it couldn't find a definition for it, Artha will show a set of words which are close matches to the searched word i.e. it will suggest you with other valid words, which could have been what you really meant.
For suggestions feature to work, make sure you have libenchant and an English dictionary (of ''any'' locale) installed on your system. Refer [[Installation#Suggestions|Installation]] for further details.
